Some very elaborate coral sets have
recently been imported from Naples.
Exquisitely chiseled rose sprays and
amphor:e pendants are the most no
ticeable features of these sets. A Gu
pid reclining on a bed of roses forms
the bracelet ornament, and the CENTER
piece of the necklace of the finest set.
Buckles and clOak-clasps in antique
oxidized fIfish are considerably worn
now. and pretty etched garters in
floral and coin designs are seen in great
variety. Two new finishes which have
recently appeared in these goods de-
serve notice. The first, in all but color.
is clever imitation of alligator skin.
The second. which resembles an or
ange-peel in its pitted surface, consists
of a sprinkling of fine bright flakes on
a rough and dark Oxidized ground.

copied largely from time-pieces worn
by court celebrities. The present de-
mand tends toward small watches i'm

went in. But she was Mortified to find
that her baby, which she had left in bed
and asleep was gone. The officers
searched the premises and found it in
the stove oven--there was no fire-and
her pet poodle-dog was hanging by the
neck to . door-knob, tied with a piece
of ribbon she declared she had never
seen. The officers remained with her
the rest of the night, but all was quiet
as usual.
An enterprising reporter found it out
and published the facts. and for several
succeeding, nights the street was
thronged with people, all anxious to
see the ghost, but it did not appear.
But where the ghostly hand had pressed

through the halls with startling dis
tinctness. Thorough investigation
failed to discover their cause. but they

Of the means and shrieks of one of the

were heard. and some of the prisoners

am heartily tired of hearing farmers
growl about their business and pity
themselves. There is no call for croak-
ing, but when produce is low we should
farm better, and try to make the farm
produce the family supplies as nearly
as possible. Tens of thousands
Of young men have begun life
on the farm without capital, and,
in middle life, have become owners of
good, well-stocked farms, and there is
just as good chance in the future as
there has been in the past There will
be seasons Of depression and low prices,
but in the long run things will average
up well. 1t is no help to the man who
has chosen to be farmer to growl and
scOld, and it does not alter the fact that
farming is profitable, for him to sup
port large family on what he grows
and then because he can not show the
cash at the end of the year, to complain
that farming does not pay. Think, if
one of our friends prayer should be all
swered, and he should have one hum
bred and fifty children to support. that
he would find about the only way he
could do it would be to stay on the
farm.
1t would be good plan for farmers
to open regular account with the
farm, in which they could credit it with
all they use in the family. Some
things would, perhaps, need to be esti-
mated, but others could be charged en-
actly. For example, if beef Is killed,
credit it at the regular price at which
cattle are selling; when You butcher
hogs for home Use credit them at what
they would bring in the market BY
weighing butter You can soon find out
the average used per week. When You
get a grist of wheat ground, credit the
farm with the flour. Make an estimate
once week or month, of the fruit,
vegetables, eggs aud poultry used. and
if at the end of the year you do not find
that the farm has contributed enough
to make fair per cent. on its taxable
value, it will be because you have not
lived up to your privileges and made
the farm as varied in its productions as
you ought Waldo Il. Br0Un, III C0uas-

and he still stands foremost at the

lions of the world the
steady, never-failing streams of plen-
teousness and life. A generation or so
ago the brightest boys of the farmers
family were assigned to the professions.
The dull fellows were sent to the fields.
Nowadays different order of things
prevails. Once the idea was popular
that only muscular strength was nee
essary on a farm-the strength to
guide pillow. to WELD an axe, a hoe or
a scythe-the endurance to go through
with the sweltering tasks of summer or
the exposing duties of winter. These
important requisites given, a BOBBY
might fill the place just as well rs any
one else. So some folks used to think,
but what say you, working farmer
boys? Do You not place a higher es-
innate upon your skill. and upon the
value of your services? Look up. then.
and vindicate. yourselves. You are
getting health and strength from the
wholesome exercises of the fields, and

During the reign of the Tyrant.
whose name is too familiar to require
repetition or mention in these pages,
the Lion-Heart was so hard pressed by
his enemies that he was obliged to seek
refuge in cave lad caro- a6squatulatus
est, literally, to cave in. While medi-
tating upon ways and means ono
morning he observed a spider (arachni-
da domesticms) mending his web.
Ninety-nine times he succeeded, but the
one hundredth effort was a disastrous
failure. Throwing down his sword and
crying: make way for liberty!" he
rushed upon the Austrian spears, and
as he did so second arrow fell from
beneath his vest '.FOr what hid'st
thou that arrow meath thy vest?" ex-
claimed the Tyrant. ITO hold it
down." replied Tell. for it was he, thus
running little good history, but antici-
pating by several centuries well-wOrn
joke. Then, muffling his face in his
mantle, he fell down at the foot of
Pompey's statue, by Phidias, where he
was caught in the arms of his faithful
daughter, who, with her rosy lips
sucked the poison from his wound. At
this moment the shout was heard on
the distant plain: "They fly! they fly"
"Who fy?'' asked the dying hero.
.'Hoss dy," replied cavalry sergeant.
"Come to my arms. my noble bOy!

make success of it, even if all his
neighbors are engaged in grain-raising
or the production of meat. fruit, to-
bacco or wool. But if he has not very
large capital, he will be likely to find
milk production or the manufacture of
butter and cheese Improbable if none
of his neighbors are engaged in dairy
ing. The milk of about five hundred
cows is wanted to warrant the estab-
lishment of a commercial or co-opera-
tive creamery or cheese factory. Unless
man has a very large farm he will
not lind it convenient or economical
to keep more than twenty-five mich
cows. As this is the case. concert of
action between twenty farmers living
within a radius of about two miles of
the factory will be necessary to insure
its support. Observation in most parts
Of this country, as well as in England,
Holland and Denmark. shows that
dairying is most profitable in localities
that are almost entirely given up to it.
In dairying, as in most other industries,
skill and profit result from the inter-
change of ideas. The largest yields of
milk are generally obtained in the
great dairy regions. In them the poor
milking stock is welded out. Persons
become expert mixers in childhood.
and at an early age are good judges of
cows, while they understand how to
feed and take care of them.
Concert of action is of great advan-
tage to the breeders of all kinds of
stock. The high reputation of American
merino sheep is due to the united labors

Mrs Tilton Buys a Souvenir of Beecher.


There was a bit of sentiment in an
auction sale this week. Although it was
a disposal of the effects of Henry Ward
Beecher. little interest was excited outside of
his personal friends, who attended for the pur-
pose Of buying souvenirs of their beloved pastor.
Books and bric-a- brac went, after another,
at about their original cost, until tiny, paper
bound copy of Mrs. Browning's poems was of
fered. The auctioneer regarded it carelessly,
but one person present had discovered written
on a f1y-1eaf, Theodore Tilton to Henry Ward
Beecher." and he bid it up slowly to 81, 81 So,
finally losing it to somebody who gave So.
''Glad / didn't get it." he remarked; sit isn't
worth any such ridiculous price"
Who had paid So for a thing intrinsically
worth more than 5 centsl Elizabeth Tilton.
The ostensible purchaser was an intimate
friend. Presumably Mrs. Tilton desired it as a
joint memento of the two remarkable men who
once made such an awful commotion her.
What particular memory was to her associated
with this gift of her husband to her pastor do
not know, but 1 do know that the little volume
is now at the bindery being covered handsomely
in morocco.
